Search around online and you\u2019ll find the general advice is that you don\u2019t need antivirus on your iPhone or iPad. And while the reasons for that advice are sound, the real answer is a bit more nuanced than an outright no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apple has designed iOS \u2013 and iPadOS \u2013 in such a way that it is very difficult for malware, including viruses, to penetrate its defences. This is a good thing, but remember that modern antivirus software does far more than detecting and blocking viruses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, calling it \u2018antivirus software\u2019 does it a disservice as the threats go way beyond viruses these days. The latest security software protects your device \u2013 and you \u2013 from a much wider range of dangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The people who create viruses are in a constant battle with the companies that make the operating systems (such as iOS and iPadOS), and have realised that it it\u2019s far easier to trick the user into handing over their password and payment details than trying to make some malware that will achieve the same result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After all, the criminals are after your identity and your money: that\u2019s the end game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, this means that running an \u2018antivirus\u2019 app on your iPhone and iPad can be a very good idea indeed as it can protect your from yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
